Senior Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh today asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to spell out Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) agenda for Punjab rather than adding to the already existing "chaos and anarchy" in the state.
"Please stay away from Punjab as you (Kejriwal) have nothing to offer except for adding to the chaos and anarchy, the two things you are best known for", Mr Singh said in a statement issued in Patiala.
"As if the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal was not capable enough to create anarchy in the state, we have this gentleman (Kejriwal) rushing in from Delhi to contribute his bit and expertise", he said.
Mr Singh pointed out that Mr Kejriwal was basically from Hisar in Haryana and he has no business to interfere and indulge in the affairs of Punjab.
"Before venturing into the troubled waters of Punjab let him clarify his stand on the water sharing issue pending between Punjab and his state, Haryana", he asked.
"You can either be loyal to your state, Haryana or you can be loyal to Punjab, but you can't be loyal to both at the same time", he told Kejriwal, adding, people of Punjab will like to know his and his party's stand on sensitive and critical matters that concern them the most.
Mr Singh appealed to Punjabi's that next time any of the AAP leaders, including Mr Kejriwal comes to them they must ask him to spell out the agenda and the vision for Punjab.
"Do not let them get away with spreading chaos and misleading you", he urged people and said, "after the disastrous decade presided over by the Badals, Punjab really cannot afford to experiment with chaos and anarchy".
"Punjab, unlike Delhi, is not like an extended municipal corporation that you create chaos and sell alluring promises like free water, subsidised electricity and free wifi, without meaning to fulfil these and storm to power", Mr Singh said, adding, "it is too different to get carried away with Twitter or Facebook".
He also asked the AAP to spell out one single feat its government had achieved in Delhi that it could showcase to the people of Punjab.
"Instead, what we have seen is a perpetually aggrieved and confrontationist chief minister who wants to pick up a fight with anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat, while people of Delhi continue to suffer and regret what they did by voting him to power", Mr Singh said.
Mr Kejriwal had visited Punjab on Saturday and met the families of two Sikhs who were killed in police firing on October 14.
